After leaving Russian River, Justin went on to establish a quality assurance program at Half Acre Beer Company in Chicago. During his time at Half Acre, Justin became an integral member of Half Acre’s research and development team and optimized their sour beer and barrel aging methods.

Justin brings his wealth of food science and fermentation expertise to bear on both Render product and Pilot projects.
